Explanatory Notes
A high pressure system building in the Bight extends a broad ridge east over
Victoria in the wake of a cold front. Settled conditions are expected to
develop as the high pressure system slowly moves east across Bass Strait to be
located in the Tasman Sea Sunday. A weak inland trough slowly extends across
Victoria Monday.
